For You...Teacher!!

Hello Friends,
Today, I'm deeply deeply saddened by the sudden passing of my much adored 22 year old cousin.  It has been such a shock to all our family and hard to believe that such a young man full of live is gone.  We will forever remember him and miss him.  I will not be posting for the rest of the week since I will be flying out of town along with all my family.


My posting today is for our Challenge all about "Teachers" over at Decorate to Celebrate.  Please stop by and visit all my Team Members projects HERE!! Thank you for visiting!!


To purchase any of the Stampin' Up! products used on today's project please visit my on-line store HERE!! Thank you:)
I used the Blossom Punch and punch it in Real Red 
and layer the other two circles.
I used our 6" X 8" Cellophane bag for the two adorable notepads.  I really didn't do much to the notepads since they looked cute as they were already.  This little gift will be for my son's teachers as a Just Because!!
These are the cute notepads inside the Cellophane bag.

    Norma, My condolences to you and your family. It is always hard to lose a family member and only time can lessen our pain because we trully never heal. I lost my Mom,Dad Grandma and Grandpa and my baby sister all withen a short time of each other. Keep strong in Gods faith. Take time out for yourself and come back when you feel ready. Hugs and God bless!
